Ramadan Blessings and Answers
Sunday May 28, 2017
“All around us lies what we neither understand nor use. Our capacities, our instincts for this our present sphere are but half developed. Let us confine ourselves to that till the lesson be learned; let us be completely natural; before we trouble ourselves with the supernatural. I never see any of these things but I long to get away and lie under a green tree and let the wind blow on me. There is marvel and charm enough in that for me.” – Margaret Fuller from “Good Sense,” in a dialogue between Free Hope, Old Church, Good Sense, and Self‐Poise, p. 127.
This Sunday John Hall will deliver a lesson entitled “On The Right Side of History”.
We would love to have you come worship with us.

Our Religious Education/ Life Long Learning Class will meet at from 10am to 10:45 am with a coffee gathering before the service. More about us.
Adult religious education, at 10, will be our business and planning meeting for the next five or six months, including our Spiritual Outings for the summer. Bring your thoughts on services, outings, and anything else we should plan for.
Children are welcome. There is childcare and an activity for young children during the service.

Prelude: “GONNA BUILD A MOUNTAIN” from Stop The World I Want to Get Off Composed by Bricusse and Newley Performed by Penn Yan Community Chorus
Welcome: “You come into the world with nothing, and the purpose of your life is to make something out of nothing.” – Henry Louis Mencken
Chalice Lighting: Global Chalice Lighting for May 2017
The words of Aleks Zglinska offered to us by the British Unitarians
A sacred flame burns in my heart, tells me I’m one, sets me apart. Helps me to find that which is true, in reaching out to you. Once we’re a few a brighter light cuts through the darkness of the night. In these connections we shall see, strength in community. The light we find in others hearts brings us together. Then we start, transforming lives and making friends with this the light will never end.
Sunday, May 14, 2017: Hypocrite!
Hypocrite: it’s an ugly word, a vicious word. It’s a word I heard a lot when I was young. It’s a word I hear a lot lately, spat as if a weapon against someone we think is merely pretending to believe something they truly do not, is not truly living up to the beliefs they proclaim despite holding others accountable to them. We Unitarian Universalists do not proclaim a set body of beliefs, but our congregations “affirm and promote” Seven Principles that help define what it means to be a “UU”. But do I live my life honoring these Seven Principles? And if I do not, am I not also a hypocrite? This Sunday we will discuss “Living Our Principles” in the light of hypocrisy.
Peace, joy, and love,
Robert

Sunday May 7, 2017: Pura Vida!
Pura vida! It is a catchphrase in Costa Rica, and translates to Pure life! Something like when my Tai Chi instructor says “It’s all Tai Chi” to encourage us when we aren’t perfect. I’ll be talking about the different landscape and lifestyle we experienced in Costa Rica, some ideas from a book I read recently, Civilization and Barbarism, and trying to clarify for me and you some rather rambling thoughts on just living, and living in community. In any case, we will have music and singing and celebrating our community.
It is also Pluralism Sunday, and a day we have been asked to have a teach-in on white supremacy by several caucuses of people of color within our Unitarian Universalist Association.
Peace, joy, and love,
Lisa
